#3901: Parsable output for Thandy

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 In order to make it easier for an external application to know what Thandy
 is saying, there should be a switch in the Thandy client to make the
 output uniform.

 I have in mind something along the lines of:
 One message per line with the following format:

 <id> :: <msg>

 Where:
 <id> is arbitrary number id to easily recognize the message we are dealing
 with. For example: 1: error, 2: updates available, 3: updates downloaded,
 4: download progress, 5: start download, 6: available packages for update,
 etc

 <msg> is a verbose message, or the bytes downloaded if it's a message with
 id=4.

 If this sounds like a good idea I'd draft a more formal spec for it.
